Chapter 410

~7 min read 1,395 words

Xutian World, Mortal Heaven, Qingfeng City.

In this bottom-level city crushed by capital and debt, a three-story small building rose from the ground, hanging a gold-stamped sign—"Gu's Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds Peaceful Development Investment Chamber of Commerce".

The name was long and awkward, even a bit funny, but no one dared to laugh.

Because the person in charge of this chamber of commerce was that former orphan, Lin Feng.

At this moment, Lin Feng stood in front of the window on the second floor of the chamber of commerce, overlooking the long dragon lined up downstairs.

He changed into a clean green cloth long shirt, his face still carrying a bit of paleness, but his waist was straight, and the light rekindled in those eyes that had only numbness left.

At the dantian, a warm current circulated slowly. That was the Dao foundation reshaped by the Qingluan Fairy with supreme immortal law, although it was only the most ordinary Five Elements Spiritual Root, it was extremely tough, far better than that so-called Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root he had borrowed with a loan.

He knew that he was just a facade, a legal person pushed to the front.

The one who really controlled everything was the few unfathomable existences upstairs.

"Legal Person Lin, can today's spiritual energy quota be opened in advance? We really can't wait!"

Downstairs, a cultivator who had just registered as a member shouted with a flattering face.

"Yes, Legal Person Lin! Please have mercy!"

The sound of "Legal Person Lin" made Lin Feng's fingertips tremble slightly.

A week ago, he was still that orphan struggling in the mud, unable to keep even a piece of moldy black bread.

A week later, he became the "Legal Person Lin" whom countless cultivators respected.

All this change stemmed from the few unfathomable existences on the third floor.

He would never forget that the cold and immortal-like Qingluan Fairy just flicked her finger, and a ray of light sank into his broken dantian.

The pain and emptiness of having his spiritual root forcibly extracted were instantly filled by a warm and tough force, and the reshaped Dao foundation was far more solid than the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root he had borrowed with a loan.

He also wouldn't forget that the steady-as-an-abyss Great Elder, when deciding to establish the chamber of commerce, he had summoned his lifelong courage and reminded the other party with a trembling voice that providing free spiritual energy to all cultivators in the city would consume an astronomical number of immortal crystals.

But that Great Elder just glanced at him plainly and said one sentence: "No matter."

That day, on the most prosperous East Street of Qingfeng City, a shop that originally operated luxury magic treasures was "friendly negotiated" and taken over by two "immortals" who were full of spirit, and the first week-long free spiritual energy supply activity was launched.

A week later, this scene happened.

Looking at those fanatical and flattering faces downstairs, listening to those "Legal Person Lin" from the bottom of their hearts, Lin Feng's fingertips trembled slightly.

He knew that all this prosperity was built on the spiritual energy continuously provided by the Great Elder on the third floor.

He didn't know how much money the other party had to provide spiritual energy to the whole city, but he understood that once the supply was interrupted, this castle in the air built by kindness and interest would instantly collapse.

At that time, these cultivators who were so respectful to him today would be so crazy tomorrow, and they would tear him into pieces without hesitation.

But so what?

In Lin Feng's eyes, there was no fear, but a determined light ignited.

He had lived like a wild dog for more than ten years, tasting all the despair in the world in the darkest mud.

And this week, he lived like a real person, a person who could give hope to others.

That was enough.

He had already burned, even if it was only for a short moment, it burst out the most brilliant light of his life.

Even if he was to turn into ashes in the next moment and wither here, it didn't matter.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the strange impulse in his heart, and turned to walk to the third floor.

In the private room on the third floor, Gu Linjiang was sipping tea slowly, Qingluan was serving on the side, Gu Zhan was napping in the corner with a giant axe, and Gu Xue Dao was wiping his blood-colored long knife.

"Great Elder." Lin Feng bowed respectfully.

Gu Linjiang put down the teacup and looked at the sky: "The time is almost up, let's start."

He flicked his finger, and a storage ring flew into Lin Feng's hand: "Inside is ten thousand low-grade immortal stones, act according to the plan."

Lin Feng's divine sense probed into it, and his mind shook violently again.

Last time.

It was this Great Elder who threw out ten so-called immortal stones, which supplied the spiritual energy for tens of thousands of people for a week.

And the one in front of him... was a full ten thousand!

Knowing that according to Lin Feng's private calculation.

The spiritual energy provided by this one immortal stone is a hundred times that of top-grade immortal crystals, ten thousand times that of medium-grade immortal crystals, and a million times that of low-grade immortal crystals!

It equals one immortal stone worth ten million low-grade immortal crystals!

Lin Feng had only saved fifty thousand immortal crystals in eight years!

He would have to not eat or drink, and work as a soul cultivator for more than six hundred years to save enough!

And right now, the other party casually took out another ten thousand!

He couldn't even imagine how much this was worth!

It was a number he couldn't save in a thousand lifetimes!

A full ten billion!

This elder... wants a ten billion subsidy?!

"Go." Gu Linjiang waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Lin Feng suppressed the horror in his heart and walked quickly to the first floor, arriving at the high platform already built at the entrance of the chamber of commerce.

He cleared his throat, held an immortal stone high, used his just-recovered true energy, and said loudly: "Everyone! To celebrate the one-week opening of this chamber of commerce, today, our Gu's Chamber of Commerce officially launches the ten billion immortal crystal subsidy plan!"

"From today on, all members of our chamber of commerce can enjoy free cultivation here for one month! Spiritual energy is enough, no charge!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole audience was deathly silent, and then erupted into questioning like a mountain collapse and tsunami.

"Still free? How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"Won't they trick us in and cut our kidneys?"

"Is your kidney a golden kidney, worth them coming to cut you?"

Facing the questioning, Lin Feng was well prepared.

He put the immortal stone into a spiritual gathering formation in the center of the high platform, and the formation started with a hum, and a white spiritual mist that was dense to the point of being tangible instantly sprayed out, covering the entrance of the chamber of commerce.

A few cultivators who were close just took a breath, and their faces flushed, and the bottleneck that hadn't loosened for a long time actually had signs of breaking through!

"It's true! This spiritual energy... this spiritual energy is purer than the top VIP room of the Spiritual Energy Bank!"

"Heavens! I... I'm going to break through!"

The crowd went completely crazy.

It's free, why not take it!

For a time, countless people swarmed toward the chamber of commerce like demons, sat cross-legged, and began to breathe in crazily.

Qingfeng City, Spiritual Energy Bank.

The manager Qian Youde sat on his reclining chair made of thousand-year warm jade, listening to the report from his subordinates, and a look of disdain hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu's Chamber of Commerce? Immortal stones subsidizing the sky?"

He sneered,

"Where did the bumpkins come from, thinking that burning some money can pry open the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty? Ten billion? I'm afraid it's good to have one hundred million, right? One hundred million, how many days can it last? Idiots."
